THE NEW BANNER.
The Athens Publishing Company
to-day presents its patrons with the
first paper issued under the new
management. Wljile, without ego
tism, we claim it to lje the best and
newsiest daily ever published in our
city, at the same time it is not by
any means so good a paper as we
intend it shall be. We have not as
yet our forces properly organized
and of course it will take time to
get everything in perfect working
order.
|t is onr purpose to keep The
Bonnot fully apace with Athens,
and give onr people a daily and
weekly paper of which they can
justly boast. The consolidation of
the newspaper business in onr city
was not made to extort increased
prices for advertising and subscrip
tion firom the people, but by concent
trating all the business into one
office, to enable the pnblication of a
more creditable paper and at less
expense te both advertisers and
subscribers that to obtain a general
circulation and the news by sup
porting two papers. As onr ex
penses are greatly increased, it is
necessary to somewhat advance
prices to daily subscribers and ad
vertisers; but this advance is less
than the amount heretofore paid to
separate papers, while a double cir
culation and an increased amount of
^reading matter is given.
The Banner is now owned by the
merchants and citizens of Athens
and surrounding country. Not one
dollar of stock is held by an outsider.
It is a home enterprise, owned solely
by home people, and its great work
and missive will be to advertise and
and section.
Every dollar paid Ttfc?-Joannes will
he like bread cast upon the^waters,
for it will be returned to yoomany
fold.
The Banner has neither friends
to reward or enemies to punish. It
will know no past, and work only
for the future. It is not established
to advance the claims of any man
or set *f men. Whatever may be
the personal feelings, preferences or
interests of its editor or managers,
this paper will not be a reflex of their
sentiments. It has a higher and
pobler mission to perform—the up
building of our city and section and
——tUfi advancement of the welfare or
its entire peopte.
In politics, The Banner will know
no dictator except the commands of
the organized democracy. When
our party meets and centres npon a
ticket, then, and not till then, will
this paper champion the cause of
auy men. Where a race is between
democrats and good men—while
giving all the news of the campaign
—we will not attempt to shape the
opinion of intelligent voters by
espousing the cause of any can
didate.
But when the welfare and interest
of our section, our party or our people
are at stake. The Banner will be
found ever battling for wkat it be
lieves to be right and for the best.
In the future as in the past, this
paper will ever be found on the side
of every movement tending to the
advancement of peace, morality and
good government.
In assuming the position of editor-
in-chief, we feel and appreciate the
responsibility imposed upon us. We
realize the fact we have not only our
individual reputation and interests
at stake, but are alpo intrusted with
those of many other honorable and
worthy citizens. It shall be our
earnest aim and endeavor never to
pen a line that any stockholder is
this paper may have cause to blush
for. We will use more care and
diligence than ever before to publish
a clean and in^resting paper. We
intend to make Tiie Banner one
journal that any father can place in
the bands of his family without first,
scanning its contents.

ON A SOLID FOUNDATION.
The Athens Banner is no new
and untried craft,launcbed'npon the
uncertain sea of journalism; but it
is a sturdy old ship that has for 58
years weathered the storms of time
and has found a firm anchorage in
the hearts and confidence of thepeo
pie. It was started on 'its journey
in 1832, when Athens was a little
college town. It has lived through
two bloody wars, stemmed the tide
during the threatening days of Nul
lification, and kept upon its course
while assailed with panics. The
Banner has seen Athens grow from
a little hamlet to a prosperous city;
our cotton receipts swell from a few
straggling bales to nearly 100,000;
our streams chained and their rush
ing waters change their music to
the hum of machinery; waste places
covered with stately buildings, end
in fact, this old paper has stood by
our city since the day it donned knee
breeches. It has swallowed up
paper after paper, and added their
patronage to its own. The Banner
is here to stay, and with new arma
ment and an increased crew, we
predict that it will yet survive to see
Athens a city of more than 100,000
population.
The future of .* he paper was never
brighter, than to-day. It is now
the pat and child of Athens, and will
never suffer for friends or for pat
ronage. The man who has a share
of Us stock has an inheritance as
solvent as .a government bond,
Fresh blood has been infused into
its veins by coalition with that
bright and .successful paper, the
Athens Chronicle, that started out
eleven years ago as a small weekly,
and blossomed into a prosperous
daily.
OUR ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
Mr. George T. Murrell, a leading
farmer of this section and member
of the Judiciary Committee of the
State Farmer’s alliance, will have
charge of the Agricultural and Al
liance department of The Weekly
Banner. This will be a new and
interesting feature for our people,
and with Mr. Murrell at the helm,
we risk nothing in predicting that it
will be a great success, and prove
entertaining and instructive to our
farmers. It is designed to make
The Weekly Banner the organ for
the Alliance throughout this section
ot the State, and all communications
and announcements should be sent
to George T. Murrell, editor, Win-
tervilie, Ga. One page or more in
our paper will be devoted each week
to the AUiancemeu and their inter
ests.
THE WARNING OF THE BUSH.
It is only tho weird rustling
Of a withered, wind blown bush.
That stands by the roadside sighing *
In the autumn eveuingVLush;
It thrills as though it were human.
And feels encroaching death
That tinges with hectic beauty
Its leaves—list what it saith:
, -. --y - - - ~
I dreamt sweet dreams in springtime days,
I slept ’neatli the summer moon,
I shed soft tears in autumn's haze,
But the chill came all too soon.
Dream on, young lover, while you may,
, Life's roses bloom for some;
Bask in warm Jove’s effulgent ray.
Yet chilling age must come.
One must go first, and one remain
Alone on the road to death,
And sadly sigh, as now do L
In the autumn's frosty breath;
The hopes you bear, the charms you wear.
Must lose their mystic light
And winter’s snows drift o’er the rose
That once was fair and bright.
Pass onl I can but whisper low, •
With these withered, wind blown leaves;
I stand alone, and make my moan
Like a trembling soul that grieves.
Pass on, leave me desolate I
'Ere long I shall be dumb.
With not a leaf to sigh my grief
When chilling death shall come.
—Annie E. Baker in Philadelphia Ledger.
MB. ASHFORD’S “SETTINGS.'
TODAY’S WEEKLY-
OwiDg to the fact that we have
just begun to get settled and suit
ably arranged under the new man
agement, we have been forced to
issue only a half sheet today for our
weekly.
We regret 'this occurrence very
much, but when we^assure our read
ers that it was impossible to get out
a better paper owing to the claotic
state of our office, we feel certain of
receiving their kind forbearance for
onr short comings.
Our next weekly will be the same
size as heretofore, and will be a
great improvement on the old paper.
The Banner will drop the flag on
long-winded correspondents, who seek
to use cplumn after column of the paper
in which to air their individual griev
ances or peculiar views. We need our
every line to boom Athens. We will
cheerfully publish short and pithy arti
cles on any living issue, even if the
views expressed therein do not coincide
with The Banner’s. All sides shall
have a fair hearing in our columns.
We do not purpose to inauguraT^ a'sys^

MISPLACED SYMPATHY. "
• r"' 4
5f*s. Ksu.’Cfiwortfi, who recently
shot and killed her betrayer, Stephen
Pettus, on the streets of New Y ork
is now the recipient of a’ great deal
of misplaced sympathy.
It.is notour desire to cast blame
upon the weaker vessel; and we have
no word of apology to offer for the
murdered man, who fell a victim to
his own lust. But when we see an
attempt made to create a heroine of
a woman who consented to the wreck
of her own diameter, and at last>
through the basest motives and in
an ungovernable outburst of rage,
deliberately stained her hands with
blood of the man to whom she volun
tarily gave her honor, we feel it our
duty to enter a protest.
Were Mrs. Southworth a guileless
younggirl, seduced by false promises
and the syren tongue of a betrayer,
then indeed would our heart go out
in the deepest sympathy to her.
But here ws And a matured , wo
man—a widow well versed in the
ways and wiles of the world—yield
ing up herself to the embraces ot a
man whom she knew had a loving
wife and family. Not onty once, but
for long months, were these criminal
relations kept up. while the unsus
peering wife at home had not the
slightest idea that her confidence
was being systematically betrayed.
While robbing Mrs. Pettus of her
husband’s love and rime, Mrs. South-
worth did not feel a single sting of
conscience. She gave no thought to
the devoted and betrayed wife, so
long as she could gratify her own
depraved passions without danger of
exposure.
But a time came when this woman
discovered that “the wages of sin is
death.” It was then that her own
condition—and {not the injury done
the misguided wife—aroused her
anger and she demanded of her par
amour that he right her wrongs
Mrs. Southworth well knew that Pit-
tus could not. save her blasted char
acter by marriage, as he already had
one lawful wife. She then bewail to
hound down the man to whom she
owed her degradation—her 'copart
ner in sin—and finally, in an un
governable outburst of rage, took
his life, thus doubly injuring the be
trayed wife—first robbing her of a
TEvery few days some fellow discov
ers a new substitute for jute in some of
the myriads of wild plants that grow
in the South. It is too late, now. The
farmers have long since found a substi
tute for jute, and intend to stick to it
to the end. It is named King Cotton,
and the fact has been demonstrated that
it makes an excellent winding-sheet for
the iniquitous jute trust. From now
on, cotton will use its own “kiver.”
We are glad to see that the people
of that old iron-ribbed democratic
county, Madison, have decided to here
after nominate, candidates for every
office by primary eleotion. They are
right, and any white man who opposes
this glorious reform movement should
be treated as a scallawag. Bear in mind
that disunion among the white voters,
in its last analysis, is negro supremacy.

“There I how does it sound. Susan? Is it
interesting? And do you think it is natural?”
I asked these questions anxiously, os 1 laid
down my manuscript; and Susan hesitated
as she answered: “Well, if you want to know
my candid opinion, Miss Margie, it’s just this:
You see, you’re not in love, and never have
been in love, so how can you write about
what you don’t understand? To my mind,,
that’s not possible; and that’s why your love
stories don’t succeed.”
Busan’s words carried an unpleasant con
viction with them. I was not quite twenty-
two, and I had already won a fair reputa
tion as a writer of short stories, except on
one theme. 1 hod never, try as 1 might,
written a successful love story.
The one 1 hod just read to Susan was roy
latest effort, and, as usual, I felt that it was
a failure. But 1 only replied, somewhat pet
ulantly: “Well, Busan, I can’t fall In love as
a mere matter of business, you know; so 1
don’t see what is to be dona”
“Dear, dear! It’s too bad,” sighed Susan;
but I would not continue the conversation.
I thrust the. unlucky manuscript into my
desk, and decided to spend the rest of the
morning in the woods by way of restoring
my downcast spirits.
>. Susan was an important person to me, as
she was at once my maid, confidante, old
friend. She was also an excellent critic, and
I had often founk her judgment invaluable
That morning, however, I felt vexed with
her and with all the world, so when I re
turned from my ramble I was not at all
pleased to find that a new boarder had ar
rived and was seated on the piazza as if
waiting to greet me This was Lyman Ash
ford, a young lawyer, and a favorite with
my sister and her husband, as whose house
he was a constant visitor.
Although we had been much together dur
ing the past year, and although I knew him
to be as clever as he was handsome, he had
never interested me in the least Now, when
he came to meet me with smiling confidence,
as if he had a claim on my time not to be
gainsaid, I felt that my manner was far from
gracious; so I mentioned very briefly the rea
sons which bad drawn me to a place where 1
could be undisturbed, upon which Mr. Ash
ford said quickly: “You have stated my
case, too, Miss Carleton. I am busily en
gaged on a compilation which, though it
needs no originality, calls for much harjJ
work. So I came here to finishJt 0- {RjeS ho
bowed mad_iaff'Ss.e^fimdh to my relief, and 1
-Stw no more of him for some days.
Meanwhile I was working hard at my new
story, but was making very little progress.
I wrote and rewrote, tore np my sheets and
i again; but I felt at heart that I was
not succeeding, and began to be melancholy
and morose. One evening Susan was evi
dently in a very excited mood. Instead of
listening to my plaints with her usual pa
tience, she exclaimed: “Oh, Miss Margie,
I’ve got an idea. If you had a real lover to
study—one who was dreadfully in love, you
know—wouldn’t that help you? Couldn’t
you put down what he said and thought? 1 '
“Why, yes, of course I could; but where
could such a lover be found? And do you
suppose, you foolish thing, that he would lay
bare his heart for my inspection?” I asked,
laughing in spite of myself.
Susan looked mysterious. “But, Miss Mar
gie, I’ve seen the lover already, and I’ve
heard him, too; so there’s one difficulty out
of the way. Oh, he talks just like a book, 1
can tell you!”
“Why, Susan, this is astonishing!” I cried;
“and, pray, who is this wonderful lover?”
“It’s Mr. Ashford. He and I have had a
great many talks, and he is in love with a
young lady who doesn’t care for him, though
he loves her to distraction, he says."
“Mr. Ashford I” I repeated, amazed. “Well,
he must be a strange man to talk sq freely of
his love affairs to you.”
"And why not to me, Miss Margie?” said
Susan, looking hurt. “I’m sure I wouldn’t
betray the young man’s secret for the world,
and ho said it did him good to talk to me.”
“I don’t doubt that, my dear Susan. You
are one of the best of comforters,” I an
swered, soothingly; “but, then, you know
men are not generally communicative about
such affairs.”
“Well, Mr. Ashford is anyway, and Pm
glad of it, because now I can tell you all
aboutr his feelings,” persisted Susan.
“But I don’t think I ought to listen, Susan;
indeed, I’m sure I ought not, since it is not
meant for me to hear,” I said, and from this
resolution all Susan’s persuasidhs failed to
move me.
The next day, however, she began trium
phantly: “Well, then, Miss Margie, it’s all
settled, and I hope you won’t think I’ve been
too meddlesome; but I wanted to help you
along. I’ve spoken to Mr. Ashford about
your story, and ho says that, if you’ll allow
him to give you a ‘sitting’ (that’s what he
called it) every day, he will be most happy
to pose as an unhappy lover. Those are his
very words, miss, and I do think it’s very
kind of him.”
“Oh, Susan I” I exclaimed in alarm, “what
have you been saying to Mr. Ashford? I am
afraid yon have been terribly indiscreet.”
“Not a bit, Miss Margie, sot a bitl I’ve
only interested him in your story. Now you
just give him half an hour or so every morn
ing, and see what a help it will be.”
It is needless to repeat all the conversation
between Susan and myself on this subject.
Let it suffice that I was won over at last, and
a daily interview was agreed upon, wherein
Mr. Ashford was to enact tlio part of a de
spairing lover, and I was at liberty to sketch
from life.
Our first "sitting,” as wr- agreed to rail
our meetings, would have been embarrassing
as well as awkward, but I must own that Mr.
Ashford behaved splendidly! He thanked me
for my. kindness in allowing him to be of
some service to me, and thin, after a while,
he began to speak in the mist charming way
about the young lady witl/ whom he was in
love, and whom, for convenience sake, he
called Daisy, although he said that was not
her true name.
I began to change my ojinion of Mr. Ash
ford from that day. He wis certainly a very
interesting man, and I wondered why that
stupid Daisy could pot see i.
Soon I found that these “sittings" grew
more and more interesting as the days went
on, until I could scarcely think of anything
else, much to my own surprise. And what
a difference between the luiguagoof genuine
feeling and the poor counterfeits over which
I had labored so long und so vainly I By this
time, too, we had somewhat changed the
manner of our interviews. At first i had
taken copious notes, but latterly Mr. Ashford
had persuaded me to leave the notes until I
was alone, and devote the time spent with
him to conversation, as being more sugges
tive. Besides, I was now, also by his advice,
playing the part of the obdurate Daisy, and
receiving his entreaties and his avowals with
studied coldness and indifference. At first I
objected seriously to this role, as placing me
in a very unpleasant position, but Mr. Ash
ford insisted that it was the only way in
which I could thoroughly understand his
feelings or make any heroine perfectly true
to nature, and so I yielded. Ho made it a
rule after that to call me Daisy, and he soon
suggested that I should call him Lyman, but
that seemed unnecessary, and I never tried
it; at least not in his presence.
I would not have minded his calling me
Daisy—for he had a lovely way of saying it
—if I had not begun to dislike the girl so in
tensely. I was always wondering he hap
pened to fall in love with her, mid why he
was so constant to so blind and ungrateful a
creature. Often, when he would say that his
only hope of happiness lay in winning her
heart, I ^ould turn away my head to hide
the tears in my eyes—tears of pity for him
and anger against her.
It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless
true that I found it quite impossible to work
at my story any more. Notwithstanding the
many advantages I now enjoyed, I found my
self more at a loss than ever. My heroine,
whom I had modeled after Daisy, displeased
me; my hero, who was of course Mr. Ashford,
was too good for her, so how could I marry
them at the end? I did think of introducing
another character, a girl to whom his heart
should turn, because of her sweet, unselfish
sympathy with all his sorrows; but—well, I
put the whole thing aside, to be finished in
the winter.
One morning Mr. Ashford made his ap
pearance with a very melancholy air. “My
work is completed,” ho said; “my vacation
is over, and 1 must go back to the city. I
cannot toll you how sorry I am, nor how
much I shall miss these ‘sittings.’ And, by
the way, is not the story nearly finished? I
was hoping you would read it to me before I
loft."
- “Oh, nol not now—It Is not ready yet," I
exclaimed. “I have not written much
lately.” And there I stopped, confused by
my own admission. But ho went on quietly:
“You are quite right Put your work aside
for a time, and you will take it up with new
vigor. And now, my kind friend, will you
let me occupy this last hour of the many we
have spent together with my own affairs?
I have written to Daisy—for the last time if
she still refuses me—and on her decision my
future now rests. If she is at last won to say
yes, you know how happy I shall be. If not,
I cannot stay in the city, where I must meet
her continually. I shall accept my uncle’s
offer, give up my profession, and go to Ger
many with him, probably for the rest of my
life.”
He paused, locking at me expectantly, but
I was silent. Of course, I suppose it was
sympathy, but it seemed to me as if I could
never be so utterly wretched in all my life as
I was at that moment. Finally, realizing
that something must be said, I contrived to
get off two or three eentencea, with “best
wishes,” and “deep interest in his welfare,”
and the like, but it was very hard work.
However, he seemed quite satisfied, for he
thanked me, and then he added: “I shall not
hear from Daisy before Friday, but, what
ever the answer may be, I must come back to
tell you. So please meet me here on Satur
day afternoon, and then, if I am happy, 1
shall claim your congratulations, and if I am
to be an exile, I shall at least have the conso
lation of hearing a friendly good-by. Au
revoir, kindest of friends."
He was gone, but I burst into tsars. For a
long time I remained sitting in the little ar
bor where he had left rrie, trying to compose
myself sufficiently to return to the house.
. TJwff X went up to my room, and, telling
Susan that I had a violent headache and
could not be disturbed, I shut myself up and
began to think.
My meditation during that day and the
next made one point perfectly clear to me:
I did not want Mr. Ashford to marry Daisy.
But then, on the other hand, I did not want
him to go to Germany. I began to feel a posi
tive hatred for that girl, and to wish that I
could warn Mr. Ashford against her, for I
was quite sure she could never make him
happy.
In this way the hours dragged on. Satur
day-afternoon came at last, and found me in
the arbor waiting for him with almost uncon
trollable anxiety.
He made his appearance punctually, and,
as I watched him coming along the path that
led to the arbor, I forgot In one moment all
the rules of conduct 1 had lain down for my
self. all the elaborate speeches I had pre
pared, and, springing up, I held out my hand
with a breathless “WellP’
“No, It isn’t well Daisy has not accepted
me,” he said, os he took my hand. “Now the
only thing I con do is to go away as soon as
possible. Don’t you think so?”
I did not intend to say it. I shall always
Insist that nothing was further from my in*
tentions that moment, but I suddenly burst
out with? “No, don’t, don’t go.”
He was still holding my hands, and when I
said these words he put his other arm very
gently around me and whispered: "If you
want me, I will stay.”
I am going to omit the greater port of our
conversation that afternoon in the arbor, os
it was strictly personal and private. But I
ought to say that Lyman confessed to me
that he had been guilty of a great deception.
There was no such person as Daisy, and it was
I, myself, with whom he had been in love all
the time. Of course I forgave him, although
I don’t think it was quite fair, and to inveigle
